The match, which took place at Mangotsfield United's ground at Cossham Street on Sunday, was organised by Ashley Belsten and took place in memory of his grandfather Martin - a lifelong Gashead who passed away last October.

A total of £6,243 has been raised so far, with all the proceeds going to Deerhurst Care Home in Soundwell who looked after Martin during his final few months.

The match, which ended 6-2 to the veterans saw a number of Gasheads getting the chance to take on some former Rovers players. The veterans side included many names familiar to Rovers fans, including Jo Kuffour, Steve Elliott, Danny Coles and Lewis Hogg.

Current Rovers midfielder Chris Lines also came along to support the event. While Wael Al-Qadi was unable to attend due to being away, the Rovers president did make an extremely generous gesture ahead of the match.
